Question

Brush width and size varying drastically

I'm using AI on an iPad 12.9" Pro, (5th Generation), OS 17.1.2 with an Apple Pencil Gen 2
my issue is I'm using the paint brush tool and my results from the brush are varying drastically. I have been experimenting with a few different brushes. Mostly, but not all custom brushes. Using the brush with basically the same exact technique, pressure, motion, etc etc. the brush is much thicker or much thinner. It's really screwing up the drawing and slowing me down a lot. How do I fix this? The example in the image attached, is an example where it was actually much less severe than many other times it has happened since I started trying to work on AI for iPad.

Have you checked the Shape Dynamics settings for the brushes? The setting could be ramped up to a high value.

Also.  Different issue with the same brush.  The color is locked to black. I've tried switching the stroke color to other colors and it doesn't change.  I know I can expand the path and change it, but I'd like to avoid that

Blob brush shapes do not need to be expanded. Is this not about the blob brush?
